<a name="bnaad"></a><h3>How This Book Is Organized</h3>
<p>The Java EE 5 platform is quite large, and this tutorial reflects this.
However, you don&rsquo;t have to digest everything in it at once. The tutorial
has been divided into parts to help you navigate the content more easily.</p><p>This tutorial opens with an introductory chapter, which you should read before proceeding
to any specific technology area. <a href="bnaaw.html">Chapter&nbsp;1, Overview</a> covers the Java EE 5 platform
architecture and APIs, the Sun Java System Application Server 9.1, and how to
use the this tutorial's examples.</p><p>When you have digested the basics, you can delve into one or
more of the five main technology areas listed next. Because there are dependencies between
some of the chapters, <a href="#gexbt">Figure&nbsp;P-1</a> contains a roadmap for navigating through the tutorial.</p>
<ul><li><p>The web-tier technology chapters in <a href="bnadp.html">Part&nbsp;II, The Web Tier</a> cover the components used in developing the presentation layer of a Java EE 5 or stand-alone web application:</p>
<ul><li><p>Java Servlet</p></li>
<li><p>JavaServer Pages<sup>TM</sup> (JSP<sup>TM</sup>)</p></li>
<li><p>JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (JSTL)</p></li>
<li><p>JavaServer<sup>TM</sup> Faces</p></li>
<li><p>Web application internationalization and localization</p></li></ul>
</li>
<li><p>The web services technology chapters in <a href="bnayk.html">Part&nbsp;III, Web Services</a> cover the APIs used in developing standard web services:</p>
<ul><li><p>The Java API for XML-based Web Services (JAX-WS)</p></li>
<li><p>The Java API for XML Binding (JAXB)</p></li>
<li><p>The Streaming API for XML (StAX)</p></li>
<li><p>The SOAP with Attachments API for Java<sup>TM</sup> (SAAJ)</p></li></ul>
</li>
<li><p>The Enterprise JavaBeans<sup>TM</sup> (EJB<sup>TM</sup>) technology chapters in <a href="bnblr.html">Part&nbsp;IV, Enterprise Beans</a> cover the components used in developing the business logic of a Java EE 5 application:</p>
<ul><li><p>Session beans</p></li>
<li><p>Message-driven beans</p></li></ul>
</li>
<li><p>The persistence technology chapters in <a href="bnbpy.html">Part&nbsp;V, Persistence</a> cover the Java Persistence API, which is used for accessing databases from Java EE applications:</p>
<ul><li><p>Introduction to the Java Persistence API</p></li>
<li><p>Persistence in the Web Tier</p></li>
<li><p>Persistence in the EJB Tier</p></li>
<li><p>The Java Persistence Query Language</p></li></ul>
</li>
<li><p>The platform services chapters in <a href="bnbwi.html">Part&nbsp;VI, Services</a> cover the system services used by all the Java EE 5 component technologies:</p>
<ul><li><p>Security</p></li>
<li><p>Java Message Service</p></li>
<li><p>Transactions</p></li>
<li><p>Resource connections</p></li>
<li><p>The Java EE Connector Architecture</p></li></ul>
</li></ul>
<a name="gexbt"></a><h6>Figure&nbsp;P-1 Roadmap to This Tutorial</h6><img src="figures/about-roadmap.gif" alt="Flow diagram of chapter prerequisites. Major chapter orders are: 1-14; 1, 15-17; 1, 15, 18, 19; 1, 20-27; 1, 28-35."></img><p>After you have become familiar with some of the technology areas, you are
ready to tackle the case studies in <a href="bnckn.html">Part&nbsp;VII, Case Studies</a>, which tie together several
of the technologies discussed in the tutorial. The Coffee Break Application describes an
application that uses the web application and web services APIs. The Duke&rsquo;s Bank
Application describes an application that employs web application technologies, enterprise beans, and the Java
Persistence API.</p><p>Finally, <a href="gexbq.html">Part&nbsp;VIII, Appendixes</a> contains information about Java encoding schemes and Java EE certification that may
be helpful to the Java EE 5 application developer, and information about the
tutorial's authors.</p>
